RT 3.8.4 - How to change the available Status options?

I’ve tried a few different things I’ve found online to add a status in
addition to ‘new’, ‘stalled’, etc.

One site suggested adding a file rt3/local/lib/RT/Queue_Local.pm to
redefine @ACTIVE_STATUS, and another suggested that I modify
rt3/lib/RT/Queue_Overlay.pm. Restarting the webserver and then the
machine after trying each didn’t bring about any changes.

What’s the preferred methodology in the current version?

Patrick,

We added “pending QA” and “QA approvd” (you are limited to 10 char), by
simply adding them to the setting in RT_SiteConfig.pm in $RTHOME/etc
like this:

“*@ActiveStatus = (‘new’, ‘open’, ‘pending QA’, ‘QA approvd’, ‘stalled’)
unless @ActiveStatus;”

*Then, the only other thing you might want to do is modify the
“MySupportQueues” and “Quicksearch” queries so the new status values
will show up.

Hope this helps.

Patrick,

I add this line to my RT_SiteConfig file to add a QA status.

Set(@ActiveStatus, qw(new open stalled QA) );

Thanks
